This year's performers include the Breffny Irish Dancers, Story Improv Troupe, Taconic High School Choruse and African drumming by Brian Colbert.

Now in its ninth year, this year's festival will incorporate outdoor recreation.

“Each year, the 10x10 Winter Arts Festival brims with fantastic programs and amazing events, giving us all something to look forward to during this time of year. I’m thrilled to share that we’re especially excited about this year’s festival as it features a dynamic collaboration between our thriving arts and culture scene and our magnificent natural resources. It’s truly the best of both worlds,” said Mayor Linda Tyer. “This partnership reflects one of the many opportunities that we will embrace to emphasize and enhance Pittsfield’s outdoor recreation economy.”
